The Steamship Companies and the Long
| shoremen.
New YORK. January 2lst-The boycott
by the 'Longshoremen's Union ofthe freight
carried by the Old Dominion Steamship
| Company proceeded with the usual vigor
| to-day on both sides. The 'longshoremen
| and the foreign steamship companies are
waiting for the expected storm to burst
| The Post says that nearly all the steamship
companies, with one exception, are deter
mined to resist the action of the strikers,
and that the first boycotted freight handled
by any Of the steamship companies will be
| a signal for a general strike. The Long
| shoremen's Union has not only boycotted
the freight carried by the Old Dominion
| Company, but also the lightermen who

| Company, as well as the lighters whose
| Captains are not Union men. 1t is ex-
pected that the action of Judge Shipman,
in issuing an order compelling the French
company to receive freight that had been
brought into port by the Old Dominion
| Company, will hurry along a general
strike.
Trouble in Henry Georges Party.
New YORK. January 21st.-There is dan
ger of open rupture in the ranks of Henry
| Georges party. A resolution will be Of
| fered by the Socialists at the County Con-
vention in Clarendon Hall tonight, abolish
ing the position of Secretary of the National
Central Committee, an office now held by
Gaybert S. Barnes, the business partner of
Henry, George. 1t is said the resolution
will probably be adopted without much
! opposition. If Barnes docs not quietly step
out number of surprises are said to be in
store for him. Ever since he advised
editor of the Leader, the Socialists have
been watching him, closely looking up his
record. They find he rarely reads either
the Leader or the VolkS Zeitang, seldom at
tends labor fair, and does not now, nor
never did, belong to any labor organization
at all His tastes and his habits are quite
aristocratic.
The Hebrew Seminary.
New YORK, January 21st-Rabbi Men
dez, ID. D., writes remarkable communi-
cation to the Independent. He says The
Jewish Seminary of New York is an ac-
complished fact. This should be subject
of congratulation not only to the Jewish
but also to the Christian world, because it
is a decided step in the direction of STEM
ming the tide of infidelity which threatens
all revealed religion. The Hebrews are
| leading the way in the defense of truth,
and they are determined that from their
camp shall proceed champions to meet most
of the secret assaults upon inspired work.
This action has become necessary on the
part of the Jews, for Judaism is suffering
as much as Christianity. 1t is therefore
hoped by the founders of the seminary
that the religious sympathy ofthe Christian
world will be extended to their new school
of learning"

New YORK, January 21st-The benev-
oient experiment of erecting number OF
booths in different parts of Brooklyn where

meal for cents is watched with much iE-
terest by philanthropic people. One is

| The Cleveland Tragedy.
| CLEVELAND. January 2lst.-Thousands OF
people visited the morgue to-day to get a
view of Mrs. Cabalek, the dead murderess,
and her three children. The father, it is
feared, will be demented. He sobs and
means at his desolate home, and refuses to
be comforted. That the mother was insane
seems beyond doubt James, aged 13, was
stabbed sixteen times, and Antoinette, aged
F, 8, thirteen times; yet, strange to say, they
are still alive, although the physicians say
they will surely die.

deputies by the Sheriff.
The Iron Trade.
PITTsBURe, January 21st-B. T. Jones
President of the Western Iron Association
in an interview last night, stated that the
card rate on iron was not advanced because
| the market, while firm, would not justify
it. The advance in the East was not more
than an equalization of business in the two
districts. Eastern men can sell from II tc
10 cents higher than the West without
coming into competition,- ON account o.
freight rates.
